All,

 

I'll agree not to use banding codes on the listserve again if you agree not
to post anything else on cormorants on interior lakes. That's not worth
anybody's time in my opinion. They are basically trash birds now. By the way
it's never AMROB. Look up what banding codes are. They are always 4 letters.
Forget the Spanish connection too. It doesn't apply here.

Yes, but then it needs to be spread out when reporting to others. Write down
AMROB on your on-site birding list, but write "American Robin, 11" on a
report to us. (That "B" is my code - hexadecimal for "11"). And that code
for the Canada Goose needs to be changed, maybe to CNGS. Otherwise,
Spanish/English-speaking birders are going to laugh every time they see
CAGO. Unless you want to make a comment about these birds. Yes, they do mess
up parks and other land.

I think you guys need to take the course on how to do bird surveys. These
are standard banding codes. Look up banding codes  - Google it - and you
will see that it's the coming way to abbreviate birds seen or heard. When
surveying one does not have time to write down complete bird names.

I agree. I would rather hear about robins than about AMROs. Besides, CAGO
means "I poop" in Spanish.

ALL

I certainly understand the desire to use the abbreviations for our birds,
especially when they are fairly obvious DCCO, but I have to tell you I think
this is a good way to turn people off.

Also, that's a good place to see EABL and CHSP - on an asphalt path from one
of the lakes to the parking lot. Other than that there were some TUTI and a
few RBWP and DOWP.
